💀

[main orchid]

St Anford is a catholic school in Chicago right

[static obsidian]

Okay let’s get off the flex train now

[main orchid]

Guys on a real note

[static obsidian]

We get it y’all got admitted to top tier west coast schools

[main orchid]

Sorry sorry

[earnest cloud]

[static obsidian]

S’okay

[main orchid]

Like genuinely I’ve never heard of anyone go

[static obsidian]

No

[main orchid]

Never seen any pictures

It’s not real

[earnest cloud]

agreed

[static obsidian]

Stanford has rly low accept rate from my school

I think it takes less than UChi

[earnest cloud]

im the first person in school history

[static obsidian]

I dunno anyone who’s going there

[earnest cloud]

so maybe im going to die before i go

💀

[static obsidian]

Oh wow

[earnest cloud]

because its not real

[static obsidian]

Watch out for salutatorian shreyas

[earnest cloud]

or get payed a lump sum to keep the secret :sussy:

[earnest cloud]

💀

[static obsidian]

[main orchid]

Have you really seen your friend

Since they’ve gone

[kind elk]

He’s still in hs with me so yes I see him everyday

[main orchid]

No no

It’s possible to get admitted

I’m saying actually being a student there is not possible

[kind elk]

[earnest cloud]

tell him to join my discord

💀

[main orchid]

It doesn’t exist

McDonald’s architecture

[earnest cloud]

i created the stanford co 2027 discord

[static obsidian]

Yea

Isn’t it wild that they could’ve made your decision already

[kind elk]

if he sees u he will commit to mit instead (assuming he gets in)

[static obsidian]

Like. Luck could already be in at Harvard

[earnest cloud]

https://tenor.com/view/sports-sportsmanias-cfb-college-football-tailgate-team-gif-26716635

[kind elk]

[earnest cloud]

[blazing trellis]

[earnest cloud]

OH

[static obsidian]

Okay charls could already be in at Brown

[earnest cloud]

[static obsidian]

Shreyas could already be rejected from Brown PLME for lack of touching grass

[earnest cloud]

🙄

[earnest cloud]

https://tenor.com/view/death-laughing-lmao-death-laughing-funny-gif-11061475

[static obsidian]

I could already be in at Swarthmore

[woeful portal]

i hope so 😢

[earnest cloud]

true

[woeful portal]

fun trivia about me: i kinda like brown

[static obsidian]

The one EC all A2Cers lack

[woeful portal]

boston >>>>> nyc imo

[earnest cloud]

no srsly plme shud ignore my gpa nad grass touching lackness and accept me

[earnest cloud]

i loev both

both different purposes

different vibes

different types of cities

[static obsidian]

Man this is ur entire personality at this point

[woeful portal]

It has to be

I’m demonstrating interest

[static obsidian]

If I had a brown decision to open I’d feel bad if I got in bc it feels like I’d stole a spot from u

[kind elk]

Don’t

[woeful portal]

Yeah it is what it is

[earnest cloud]

im wearing a brown shirt rn

💀

[woeful portal]

Don’t feel bad about your accomplishments ever

If brown or wherever says you were good enough take it and feel grateful

[kind elk]

I’ve had harvard merch since 10th grade but never wore it until now

[static obsidian]

Stanford walks in and throws her shirt at you. Then runs away crying claiming you cheated on her

[woeful portal]

At least imo

[earnest cloud]

ive worn staford shirts for a week 💀

[earnest cloud]

true

"we were on a break"

[earnest cloud]

i acc had a tiny stanford shirt when i was 3 yrs old

i found a pic with me in it

[static obsidian]

I know a freshman who wears her Harvard gear all the time

Did it on Dec 16th too

[earnest cloud]

so mny frosh at my school do that

[kind elk]

Did she get in

[earnest cloud]

💀

its so fucking annoying

[woeful portal]

i know a freshman who wears yale merch every day

[static obsidian]

Okay fuck that

[woeful portal]

(she is my niece)

[earnest cloud]

yea yale

[static obsidian]

It’s fine usually but like

Dec 16???

[kind elk]

I don’t like wearing college merch at school

I wear a hoodie maybe like once a month

[earnest cloud]

i know a senior who be wearing yale merch everyday 💀

she aint got in

💀

[static obsidian]

I’ll wear it on May 1

For commitment day

[woeful portal]

i have worn college merch 1 day ever and it was the day back from school after my first acceptance

[static obsidian]

I am so serious about school spirit y’all don’t even know

[earnest cloud]

i wear merch 💀

[static obsidian]

charls u got UChi right

[woeful portal]

yep

[earnest cloud]

isane

[static obsidian]

Slay

[earnest cloud]

insane

[kind elk]

My goal is to get into other ivies and wear their merch to school to confuse everyone so they don’t know where I’m going

[earnest cloud]

this is true

[static obsidian]

Arent u just gonna go to Harvard

[earnest cloud]

this is the reason i applied to harvard

[kind elk]

Yes, but they don’t know that

[static obsidian]

Like okay since all y’all have been accepted at t10 schools

[kind elk]

although it’s prob gonna be in my yearbook

[woeful portal]

someone else in my school got a senior student interview at yale last week and a dartmouth interview last week so im a little nervous about my #2 and #3

[earnest cloud]

omg this reminds me of my harvard interview

😩

[static obsidian]

Gimme the breakdown. Is there any school you would pick over where you’ve been admitted? Why did you not withdraw some of ur apps?

[static obsidian]

Oh wow

[earnest cloud]

i withdrew mich after they fucking defered me 💀 id pick brown plme over stanford but thats prolly it

[static obsidian]

Feels like I know of 100 Yale admits/likely havers. And I don’t even know that many ppl so honestly it terrifies me

[kind elk]

I only applied to Harvard in early round so there was nothing to withdraw and maybe Yale over Harvard but most likely I’d go to Harvard

[earnest cloud]

yea go to harvard

dont be regine gilmore '

or whats her name

is there someone

[devout mesa]

omg isn't it early to have a harvard thread

[earnest cloud]

from a show

[static obsidian]

fuck if I’d gotten Yale in early round I’d literally be done

Like I would’ve withdrawn everywhere else and committed, Yale ‘27 in bio and all that jazz

0 hesitation

[woeful portal]

Is there any school you’d pick over where you’ve been admitted?

I think my name speaks for itself.

Why did you not withdraw some of your apps?

I worked too hard and too long on em. At the very least I want to see all my options

[earnest cloud]

same on the second q

worked too hard

💀

need to see

[vague ice]

^^ gotta see it thru

[static obsidian]

hmm okay

[earnest cloud]

also my parents wold never let me withdrawl LOL

[static obsidian]

oh my school requires u withdraw

[earnest cloud]

even for rea?

that doesnt seem fair

[static obsidian]

if u get a school that has less than 10% admit rate in early

[earnest cloud]

for ED it makes sense

[earnest cloud]

tf

thas sum bs

[vague ice]

weird

[static obsidian]

It’s so college counseling can place as many ppl as possible

[earnest cloud]

my school hates t20s

💀

[static obsidian]

And so t20s feel confident accepting ppl in early even for REA/EA

[earnest cloud]

ig

oh shoot

i forgot i also applied to duke 💀

[static obsidian]

i just wish I had my decision rly quick

[static obsidian]

what

[earnest cloud]

i had a interview too

that interview was ok

old lady

opened zoom

[static obsidian]

Princeton interview was also like that

I asked her how alum engagement was

[earnest cloud]

"i dont know how this works so if we cut out we cut out we wont get back on. Say your goodbyes now"

yea it was wack

and she kept writing shit down

and looking away fromt he screen

she was very impressed but we didnt connect much

i got matched with a different harvard interviewer than the rest of my school

PhD student

was interesting

[static obsidian]

Oh wow that’s wild

idk my Princeton interview was so awk

It’s my one big doubt abt Princeton

[earnest cloud]

dontggo to prindeton

[static obsidian]

Why

[earnest cloud]

nj

[warm escarp]

my interviewer was a sweetheart he said that of all the people he interviewed i was one of the only people with a good reason of going to princeton still don’t know the reason but thank you!

[woeful portal]

my princeton interviewer was super funny

we laughed a lot

[vague ice]

mine was sweet
gave me a lot of time to ask questions which i appreciated

[warm escarp]

mine told me that honestly yeah princeton is amazing but go where ever you get the most money 😭

[kind elk]

He said that bc he knows pton got the best aid

(They actually do have the best aid)

[static obsidian]

i don’t even remember what I said for the why Princeton in interview

[kind elk]

pen

[grizzled flume]

I didn’t even get to say why Princeton in my interview lmao 💀

[vague ice]

the only thing i remember from mine is he said i'm princeton material

he better have communicated that on those notes

[humble stirrup]

mine said i would be a great fit too 🥰

[vague ice]

✨ i'm gonna need them to accept me

[humble stirrup]

he said i was one of the most impressive applicants he’s interviewed

BETTER HAVE WEOTE abt that

[vague ice]

us actually

i'd have to pay only like 8k

lower than my own in state 💀

[humble stirrup]

i’d be paying like 12-14

yeah

like less than half of my state school

[teal sail]

does anyone harvard slate last updated time just stay at march 6th 😭

or am i auto reject

[vague ice]

Idk

Are you?

[teal sail]

lol true that

ik it probably mean nothing but like cant stop freaking out abt it

and it matches pretty well with my decisions so far so 🫠

[static obsidian]

See what’s flipping me out is

My Princeton interviewer didn’t say anything of that sort

She said I was one of the first applicants she’d reviewed this year actually

[kind elk]

Just chill guys

You’ll find out in 18 days

[static obsidian]

Luck are you not stressed

[kind elk]

I wouldn’t say stressed

idrc about anything

[static obsidian]

;-; idk

[kind elk]

like if I get in it’s great, I would like that

[static obsidian]

for me it’s like

[kind elk]

If not it’s whatever

[static obsidian]

i don’t have enough money to go anywhere rn

i got rejected from the second highest admit rate on my list

highest gives shit aid

And the rest of my schools are 40% or below acceptance rates

[kind elk]

Perhaps this is a case where you ACTUALLY got yield protected

[static obsidian]

who knows. all that matters is i don’t have an financially affordable option rn and im gonna have to rely on RD to get me it

ivies are 1/3 of the remaining decisions I have left and getting off waitlists there is practically impossible

well actually Princeton’s waitlist to admit rate is 15% that’s not tragic

[kind elk]

good luck

I’m sure you’ll end up fine

I hope you do

[static obsidian]

thank you. i appreciate it

I’m also on spring break with way too much time on my hands

[kind elk]

Catch up on sleep

[static obsidian]

Ironically the seventeenth rolls is the last day of break so I will be fully stressing right up until 1/3 of my remaining decisions release

[kind elk]

Do fun stuff

[static obsidian]

I have been! :)))

[bronze spire]

I slept 11 hours today

[static obsidian]

Going out with a cousin on Wed. Unfortunately none of my friends are on break so rip

[kind elk]

Nice, and yeah I don’t have break until like April lol

[static obsidian]

Nice

If mildly concerning

[kind elk]

I have a cold or something rn and I have a big paper due tn and 2 presentations tomorrow and Tuesday

[static obsidian]

aw shit

that’s awful luck

[kind elk]

I have not started the paper.

[static obsidian]

well can u get the presentations moved??

[bronze spire]

Same but trhats betters imo since i can visit my rd schools i get into

[kind elk]

I always somehow get sick at the most inconvenient times

[kind elk]

Nope

[static obsidian]

rip

idk id just bullshit them

it’s not like grades matter at this point

[kind elk]

True but I still want to make my teacher happy

[static obsidian]

yea fair

[short haven]

HARVARD GIVE ME AN INTERVIEW

I don't even like Harvard that much I just want an interview 😭

[turbid cypress]

i got one rea

it was not that great

💀

[short haven]

Are you domestic?

[turbid cypress]

yes

most domestics get one

[humble stirrup]

you can still get in without one

[turbid cypress]

it doesnt mean anything

[humble stirrup]

interviews are only “considered”

[short haven]

Well most internationals in areas with limited availability don't

[humble stirrup]

if it meant a lot it would be “important”

yeah exactly

[rare scroll]

Do you guys think that anyone has ever got into Harvard rea and then applied ed2 somewhere else

[humble stirrup]

probably yes

if harvard wasn’t their #1

[short haven]

Not really. I'm pretty sure interviews are way more important for international students.

[thorn niche]

Yeah but also Harvard has everything in “considered” 😭

[kind elk]

Harvard interviews for internationals are very important

Domestics not as much

I’m not sure

I’d assume it’s very important for all except canada? no idea though

[static obsidian]

i didn’t get Harvard interview as domestic

pleaseee

[supple pollen]

Harvard interviews are based on availability

[earnest cloud]

bro im so scared

💀

doom

18 more days

[minor locust]

my friend from the same school got it but i didnt

idt its just availability ngl

[bronze spire]

It is

They randomly choose from a list

Ur friend just got lucky

[minor locust]

oh perhaps

[sour raven]

You got Stanford LMAO

[kind elk]

[earnest cloud]

Ye bio

Im not worriee about barvard

I just want brown

Plme

[static obsidian]

Get ur plme I’m rooting for u

[earnest cloud]

[earnest cloud]

I wont go to brown

[gusty garnet]

Missing a word there

I presume

[earnest cloud]

U rifht

Sad

Yes

[static obsidian]

Makes sense

[kind elk]

What if you don’t get into brown plme but you get into Harvard @earnest cloud

Then what

[earnest cloud]

Then i have an existential crisis

👍😎

Harvard would pull be becuz of distanxe its clower

But fit and everything else stronger for stanford

But harvard also has mgh

So id have to make a calculated decision

But dw im not grtting in

[static obsidian]

you don’t know that

Did u think Stanford was ur strongest app?

[kind elk]

probably a lower chance than the already low chance of an intl getting into Harvard

[static obsidian]

Manifesting Harvard accept

[hazy rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-meditate-zen-spongebob-gif-5626530

[static obsidian]

LITERALLY

[queen zinc]

i’m gonna get rejected from harvard rup

[static obsidian]

Wait 17 days

[earnest cloud]

Ehhh

Some of my essays were fire some were mighty cringe

My harvard essay> imo

Same with brown essays

[jaunty bronze]

sadge

[earnest cloud]

😔

[static obsidian]

Samege but that was bc I spent a month working on three common app essays and just used one of the ones I ended up not using for Harvard supplement

[quasi bobcat]

i wrote my big harvard supplement the day of the deadline lmao

[gusty garnet]

Me too. And it was one of my better essays

Low key would have been better as my Common app essay

[quasi bobcat]

LITERALLY

i chose the book prompt and i ate that one up (i think)

[supple pollen]

You didn't write all of them the day of? Lameee

[quasi bobcat]

HAHA i actually do think i wrote the other two on the day of submission also but i forget tbh

[supple pollen]

Hahaha me as well, I had an idea for them before but wrote them the morning of

[haughty stone]

Screw that I just used my rice essay lol

[vague ice]

can't wait to get into harvard and have juniors ask for my stats/ecs 😍

[quasi bobcat]

BROOOO FR

i really want to have juniors ask for my help next year when they're applied to t20s HAHAHAHAHA

[kind elk]

[runic sleet]

Hey what are your stats and ECs?

jkjk, I'm graduating

I will punch an underclassman in the face if they ask me to help them

Unless they're my friend

But I never want to touch college apps ever again

I want my joy

[vague ice]

aren't u a junior

[runic sleet]

I'm graduating early, but yeah, I'm a junior

It's a situation

[vague ice]

interseting

[runic sleet]

But I'm getting out of the hell hole that is high school just like you guys so I'm basically one of you

Kinda...

[wild shore]

thatd so mean 😭

[supple pollen]

How did college apps work w early grad?

[wild shore]

i’d love to help ppl out tbh but i def don’t know everything **

[static obsidian]

Right!

[vague ice]

🥺

[runic sleet]

It wasn't very different. I just have a lower GPA and fewer classes on my transcript. I also had to write an essay that explained why I chose to graduate early. Actually graduating early requires me to take AP Lang, AP Lit, Civics Honors, and DE American History all this year.

[static obsidian]

Oh wow

[runic sleet]

I just hope colleges don't look at it poorly

[static obsidian]

That’s a rough schedule

[runic sleet]

Oh yeah

[static obsidian]

I’m sure you’ll be fine

[runic sleet]

Couple that with Calc 3, Mathematical Proofs, AP Physics, and Technology Engineering and Design and it's been a hell of a year

[static obsidian]

jeez

[supple pollen]

And college apps, dang

[runic sleet]

Surprisingly, it hasn't felt that bad

I've had time to learn piano, write, read, and workout

I don't get a spring break though, which is kinda shitty

[kind elk]

What’s your major

[humble stirrup]

dry? 😕

[kind elk]

noob interviewer

[humble stirrup]

there’s plenty of opportunities for stats

[kind elk]

😟

[turbid cypress]

[knotty talon]

damn 😭 the heck

[kind elk]

I wouldn’t say every field

[vague ice]

[knotty talon]

she kept asking what research ive done 😭 and i was like wtf.... ma'am... im a music major.

[vague ice]

she kept saying she was impressed and respectfully challenged me to come up with good answers

[knotty talon]

IM NOT MoZART.

[vague ice]

her questions were like so unlike the normal

or what i prepared for

every question was unique never heard it before

[knotty talon]

[static obsidian]

PLEASE PRINCETON HARVARD AWARTHMORE YALE COLUMBIA HEAR MY CRIES

[vague ice]

i wish i rea'd yale instead of harvard bro

[static obsidian]

but what if someone w my exact stats but better gpa applied rd ;-;

[vague ice]

at least id know if i was good enough

instead of harvard who defers 70%

[static obsidian]

Yale REA was better value yeah

[vague ice]

it is

i wish i REA'd something

😐

[static obsidian]

Isn’t it horrible to have them think you were good enough just not in comparison to others

[vague ice]

actually maybe not

[static obsidian]

Did you ED?

[vague ice]

i think i made the right decision

no

[vague ice]

i mean it's not relaly that

others couldve just been a better fit

bee is a good fit for yale

i see it

yea i didnt think if i fit yale honestly

that's why i didnt rea

i dont fit yale at all

[static obsidian]

Oh did you EA?

[vague ice]

yes a few

my files prob tossed for harvard tho im ngl

got nothing after i submitted addtl info

[static obsidian]

I don’t know if I fit Yale? I align rly well w the concept of & and I love their residential colleges and their academic program

But like what does it mean to “fit”

[static obsidian]

Those Harvard files are terrifying

[vague ice]

like you'd take advantage of all the opportunities there

Day 3636272 of no yale interview

you'd be the ideal "yale" student idk

[vague ice]

I feel like yale is quirky

[vague ice]

i wish i had mark as my ao

i think he had nc this year

MARK

im pretyt sure he did

unless they changed for rd

Bro I get lumped in with the cracked dfw kids not fair

My school itself is so ass

david foster wallace?

wat

[static obsidian]

everyone in my school is so cracked lmfao but the rest of the area is shit

[vague ice]

Dallas fort worth 😭

oh

i get lumped with the ncssm fuckers bro

that's even worse

sigh

[static obsidian]

idk how I get read actually

[vague ice]

No but like the north texas people are so scary

Like plano and frisco and hp kids

[static obsidian]

Either I get read with a bunch of hyper competitive kids but I think I can manage to stand out probably

Or within the context of my school and I’m screwed

[vague ice]

number 1 public hs in america btw

killig myself

if i get read within my context i'm in a good spot

if i just compared to all i'm mid af

In comparison to my school I think I look good

[vague ice]

honestly same

evne in context im kinda cooked bro

I have the second highest SAT score and it’s not even 1500 😭

cuz competitive fucking nerd area

god i hate nc

i wish i was in the boonies

I WISH I NEVER LEFT

[vague ice]

you'd be in hell bro

lmfao

I want to go to UNC so bad

aside from that actually

i think i'm like a 2 in academics and ECs, 3+ for athletics. just all depends on my fricking personal score

cuz most of the schools here are really competitive

Texas is worse in every aspect

[vague ice]

i think my personal score could be good

actually idk

i think my essay was nice

maybe 2 ec

Is personal essays and LOR

yea

and just overall

And interview

and race/AA factors

hardest one to quantify lol

cuz most subjective

mhm

[vague ice]

They count me as white ☹️

is what it is tho

;sldkfjas;dlkfjasdf

ahhhh

privilege where

get me in

asian male

me

me

[vague ice]

i need it bro

i need out of this hellhol

need that sweet sweet grade inflation

Switch with me

Texas is a worse hellhole

i'd switch any day

jersey is a hellhole

The only good thing here is the med schools

Are cheap

👍

UT is nice at least

kinda

[vague ice]

im back to reading the admissions files

picking these ppls personal statements apart

their recs

me too

[vague ice]

Too expensive

and looking at how ao's viewed them

i've been picking apart every single last harvard doc

a;ldskfja;slkjdf

Why

that one dude who got waitlisted

with the 1 academic

free him

i think i have like a good 50% chance of getting in can't lie

There’s no use

based off of all that shit

[static obsidian]

I hope I get a good personal score

[vague ice]

only thing that scares me is that is 2012

💀

2012 is wild and it got more competitive since then

[static obsidian]

Probably I do??? I wrote about like perserverance and family

[vague ice]

I wrote about breaking my arms three times

i'm also worried that harvard may try to compensate for less asians this year since they know about the ruling that's probably coming

idk

scared

[static obsidian]

and my LORs are hopefully good, I picked one of them to explain COVID

[static obsidian]

They probably admit more Asians

[vague ice]

they accepted record numbers in rea

[static obsidian]

Which. Idfk good for Asians lmfao

[vague ice]

maybe idk

[static obsidian]

Idk I’m also good diversity

[vague ice]

can u send link

[vague ice]

oh true maybe they try to make the shift look natural

ur right

[static obsidian]

Should be in the Crimson’s discussion of REA ‘27

[vague ice]

i saw it on the crimson thing

yea

[static obsidian]

I probably got a 3 academic

[vague ice]

oh yeah i'm reading it now

free my boy peter

😦

[vague ice]

I have good diversity of thought 😻

wait maybe that's bad tho maybe they take less asians RD bc of that EA

[prisma hemlock]

what is this

[kind elk]

Huh

[vague ice]

lawsuit docs

[kind elk]

[static obsidian]

idk extracurricular I should get a 2??? I made a significant schoolwide contribution

[vague ice]

fr

[vague ice]

I don’t think race weighs that heavily 😭

peters essays weren't that good either honestly

[kind elk]

Mid scores imo

I can see why they didn’t admit

[static obsidian]

Well I think they probably go through and mark ppl as admit/waitlist material

[static obsidian]

then they sort class by racial demographic and other diversity measures

[vague ice]

oh

[vague ice]

Crying

u mean those

[kind elk]

Other than the 2 it’s mid

[prisma hemlock]

yeah then you realize he's a legacy and auto admit

[static obsidian]

Maybe I’m a 4 academically

[kind elk]

like 3+ on ECs is avg imo

and no sports either

[vague ice]

i rly hope i get 2 bro

My scores were probably so bad 😭 low on academics and ECs and nothing on sports

[kind elk]

Nothing on sports isn’t a disadvantage

[prisma hemlock]

@kind elk you're at harvard right

[queen zinc]

YALE ID SO LIT

[kind elk]

No

not yet

[vague ice]

I thought it was

[prisma hemlock]

accepted?

[kind elk]

Yes

[prisma hemlock]

nice

[vague ice]

Because it’s like another 4

[static obsidian]

Oh and nothing on sports rip

[kind elk]

Yeah but I think the athletic 4 is worth less idk

[vague ice]

Maybe they’ll see broken arms and make the connection that I couldn’t do sports 💀

[static obsidian]

It’s hard to get decent sports score tho not worth it

[prisma hemlock]

isn't that a 6 then

quite literally couldn't do it

[vague ice]

idk the lowest

[kind elk]

I read somewhere that 3 2s and 1 4 is 48% admit or something

[static obsidian]

bahahaha

[prisma hemlock]

no not lowest just exempt

[vague ice]

Idk

[prisma hemlock]

how much does legacy actually add to it

[vague ice]

I didn’t make that super clear

[static obsidian]

source

[prisma hemlock]

im curious

[kind elk]

How am I supposed to know

[vague ice]

a few of us are getting in fr

at least 2

[queen zinc]

someone will get in harvard

[vague ice]

one of us already have

😭

a2c quota

[queen zinc]

and it’ll be so cool i’ll be so jealous of them

[static obsidian]

y’all let’s step off making the mistake of thinking prefrosh know shit about college admissions

[static obsidian]

So only one more

[kind elk]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/cfwru7/interesting_statistics_and_info_regarding_harvard/

Probably not credible

[vague ice]

no these are credible

these are straight from the lawsuit

[vague ice]

not including luck

[static obsidian]

Yikes

[vague ice]

I don’t think I got a 1 on anything

[static obsidian]

Ty tho Luck

[kind elk]

Me either

[vague ice]

1 personal is likely i think

I don’t even think I got 2 on academic

[static obsidian]

Idk I wish I’d interviewed

[vague ice]

SAT score not high enough

[static obsidian]

Maybe 2- academic is possible

[kind elk]

I think my scores are

2 2 3/4 3

[vague ice]

didn't u have published research

[kind elk]

I will find out in the fall

[kind elk]

Yeah but idt it’s enough for 1

[vague ice]

Then wtf is

and val

[static obsidian]

1 is really rare dugat

[vague ice]

minimum 2+ or 1

[kind elk]

well thousands of Val’s apply

so idk

[vague ice]

What even gets a 1

[kind elk]

International oly and stuff

[vague ice]

published research/oly/ that type of stuff is 1 from lawsuit

My “research” was cleaning tubes 😍

[static obsidian]

Okay but now I’m considering like. What if I’m so off from typical CHYP stats that ppl ask early days and I’m embarrassed to share

[vague ice]

CHYP

[kind elk]

get the c out of there and I will answer your questions

jk

[prisma hemlock]

LOL

[kind elk]

I think most of the ppl can get a 2 for the academic thing

[static obsidian]

idk maybe I’ll just call ppl nerds for dwelling on hs

[vague ice]

lmaooo

bee you'll be fine

[kind elk]

42.3% of applicants get a 2

[vague ice]

42% get it

ye

[static obsidian]

Oh wow rly

maybe I can get a 2 then

[prisma hemlock]

it's not hard to get a 2

[vague ice]

Doesn’t it need at least 750 on each score section

[static obsidian]

Chip you Do Not Know

[vague ice]

i wonder how many get 2 2 2 2

[prisma hemlock]

700

[kind elk]

Magna potential: Excellent student with superb grades and mid-to-high-700 scores (33+ ACT).

[vague ice]

or 2 2 3 2

[prisma hemlock]

very little

probably latter

[vague ice]

Mid to high means 750 right

[kind elk]

prob

[vague ice]

cuz 40% 20% 10% 20% im wondering hwo many ppl overlap

[prisma hemlock]

arb

[static obsidian]

My ACT and APs aren’t a problem

[prisma hemlock]

right right

[kind elk]

but 1490 is within 33 act range

[vague ice]

740 math screaming crying rn

[prisma hemlock]

let's assume like

legacy is 10-20% maybe

[kind elk]

I think

[static obsidian]

Not that many 2 2 2 2 bc it’s hard to do this well academically AND athletically

[vague ice]

or 2 2 3 2

[prisma hemlock]

those legacies actually have such a massive advantage now that i think about it

[static obsidian]

Why

What did the case say abt legacies

[prisma hemlock]

stands out more so

no im just looking at the case and extrapolating based on what i know

[kind elk]

Yeah, you’re like 34 act abcde

so technically you’re in 2 category for test score

and your grades are good too

so maybe you got a 2

[vague ice]

i'm praying i'm a 2 2 3 2

[static obsidian]

okay I probably 2 2 3 ??

so it’s up to my essays

and my LORs

[vague ice]

Idk 😭

4 years varsity tennis + captain + coaching kids is a 3+ athletics right

[vague ice]

Doubt

[vague ice]

i think that'd be a 2

Do they really give numbers to every person

cuz leadership

[static obsidian]

Yeah

[vague ice]

I feel like they didn’t even read my thing fully

[vague ice]

really

[kind elk]

nah

[vague ice]

then i might have 4 2s

[static obsidian]

At least 2 ppl did

[vague ice]

idk

[kind elk]

Abnon was team captain of varsity and got a 3+

[vague ice]

wtf

[prisma hemlock]

shi

[vague ice]

“This is trash, next” 💀

[static obsidian]

Tf

[static obsidian]

At least Harvard doesn’t have this round

[prisma hemlock]

well did the team win tho

[static obsidian]

Yale does

[prisma hemlock]

also kinda depends if the first AO was having a good day or not sadly

HAHAHA

[vague ice]

i think the only hope i have is a possible 1 or 2+ ec

but that probably won't happen 💀

[static obsidian]

idk my ECs are weird

they’re largely unrelated to my major

[kind elk]

I should ask my sister to get her admission file

[static obsidian]

But I think they’re rly good (scholastic scale)

[vague ice]

i thought ur sister went to yale

[prisma hemlock]

oh you're a legacy?

[kind elk]

no

[static obsidian]

Luck ur legacy?

[vague ice]

wtf both siblings harvard is crazy

[prisma hemlock]

ah i see

i seeeeeeeeeeee

[kind elk]

She got into yale but she didn’t go

[static obsidian]

damn

[vague ice]

cracked family

💀

[kind elk]

sibling legacy, they say it’s a feather on the scale but I def think it helped me a little

parents didn’t complete hs though

[vague ice]

It’s in his dna bro

[static obsidian]

oh okay

good work to both u and ur sister

[vague ice]

My parents have advanced degrees and I’m stupid so look how that turned out 💀

[kind elk]

You’re not stupid what

[static obsidian]

you’re literally not

[vague ice]

my dad was a hard worker and my mom was just smart

i got neither

[static obsidian]

my parents are. 💀 cracked

[prisma hemlock]

🤝

[static obsidian]

my mom is cracked my dad half rode on her coat

[vague ice]

I got a 2 on the AP physics exam whilst my dad had a phd in engineering

[kind elk]

😔

[prisma hemlock]

did u prep

[kind elk]

Fluke

[vague ice]

I STUDIED SO MUCH

[static obsidian]

i should’ve done more APs

[kind elk]

Your teacher set u up for failure

[static obsidian]

I could’ve done AP French or AP AB/BC Calc

[vague ice]

My teacher put in his LOR how I came after school every day

[sour raven]

It is ok! Exams do not define you.

Good luck for the future

[kind elk]

You can just choose to not report the 2

[vague ice]

Aw thank you 😭 you too

[kind elk]

I didn’t send my 3

[prisma hemlock]

^

[prisma hemlock]

:((

[vague ice]

I didn’t

[prisma hemlock]

[vague ice]

I sent all my other scores because they were fives

And one four

[prisma hemlock]

yeah see

it was a fluke

[kind elk]

and u said u were stupid?

[sour raven]

Thanks! 🙏

[kind elk]

[static obsidian]

yea fr

[vague ice]

They were bozo APs

[kind elk]

don’t downplay your shit

[static obsidian]

abcde r u calling the kids who did 4 below on those APs stupid?

[prisma hemlock]

APUSH, AP Bio, AP Lit, AP Chem 💀

"easy bozo aps"

[static obsidian]

AP Chem is literally not a bozo AP

[vague ice]

No 😭 but like it doesn’t take much to pass classes like lang and psych

[static obsidian]

Everyone I know says it’s so rough

[prisma hemlock]

yeah thats the joke HAHAH

[vague ice]

No not those

[kind elk]

Ap bio Mickey Mouse class

[prisma hemlock]

HAHHAHAHA fr

[kind elk]

idk if they changed it to make it harder or not

[vague ice]

APUSH APHG lang world and psych are all stupid

[vague ice]

true u have to be trying not to get a 5 on psych

[prisma hemlock]

idk it's just easier for me

easy science imo

[static obsidian]

R lit n bio that hard?

[kind elk]

They made lit easier to get a 5, like 20% of ppl did last yr

[prisma hemlock]

lit is fine fo rme but it really differs ig

yeah

[static obsidian]

Oh okay

[vague ice]

My school doesn’t let you take more than one AP till junior year 😭 so my only STEM AP at time of apps I failed

[static obsidian]

It’ll be fine

M when’s ur next decision

[kind elk]

Well, they will take that into account

[static obsidian]

Also this

[thorn niche]

how we feelin harvard peeps

[vague ice]

I hope they realized that somewhere

[static obsidian]

y’all is it bad that I rly hope my counselor talked abt how I held the school community together during a difficult time this winter

[vague ice]

Ivy day

[static obsidian]

i don’t want to profit from what happened

[vague ice]

No wait I did USC rd

I think the 24th

[static obsidian]

but I saw she put in an optional report with my midterm and the difficult time affected my midterms so idk I guess I just kinda hope it’s neutral

[static obsidian]

oh okay

[vague ice]

No

my next decision is in 2 days apparently

imkiling myself

[static obsidian]

which one dugat

[prisma hemlock]

guys i've fiured it out

[vague ice]

notre dame

[static obsidian]

Oh

[prisma hemlock]

it's actually not that hard to get into harvard

[static obsidian]

Good luck

[kind elk]

My goal is to become a pre med and then beat my sister in everything she tries to do

[static obsidian]

Get in first

[prisma hemlock]

usually you want to win some competitions, get at a 4.0 unweighted, get above 1500+ on your SAT (AOs surprisingly don't care past 1530+), work hard do well in your extracurriculars, be a sixth generation legacy and have donated a building, take up leadership roles, and do some community service

[kind elk]

[prisma hemlock]

easy formula just follow it

[vague ice]

true!

[thorn niche]

[vague ice]

Your sister sounds cool

[static obsidian]
